Answer 2

Varna is a Sanskrit term, derived from ‘vr’ — to cover, to envelop, count, classify, consider, describe or choose.

The term is used to describe the social class divisions made in the Vedic period in the Brahminical books like the Manusmriti. It is important to note that the word caste is derived from the Portuguese word “Casta” which means breed or race. This word used interchangeably with Varna, which is contextually wrong.
